Valve-plate grinding on LAPMASTER DSG720

Application context

The published case concerns CR2 steel valve plates on a LAPMASTER DSG720 with oil coolant and 0.12–0.15 mm stock removal. It reports 0.002 mm flatness and less than 0.004 mm parallelism; those results belong to this stated setup, not every workpiece.

Process, evidence & boundaries

The original publication provides the full process discussion and supporting context. Use it alongside the relevant product specification, and confirm the current configuration and workpiece requirements before placing an order.
